Never use a Registry Cleaner!!! They do more harm than good!
If you can't manually work in your Registry, leave it alone, or get a
competent Computer Technician to do it for you.

Try doing a disk cleanup, delete temp files, delete temp internet files.
Cut back on number of restore Points, delete Programs that you don't use.
Check for Spyware.
There is so much you can do without touching the Registry.

Well i have use Registry Mechanic and i have found that it removes pretty much everything you need to worry about and so far it has caused no problems with me.
It saves so much time over doing it manualy and does not cause any problems with performence. (atleast it didnt with me in the last year or so that i have used it with 2 machines.)
But i dont know if it will work with a 64 bit os.

Registry "cleaning" may seem like a good idea, but can you really attribute
any improvement in performance to it? I've tried it from time to time and
I've never noticed the slightest difference. On the other hand, I have seen
registry cleaners damage the registry resulting in programs not loading
properly. One thing you can do to optimize the registry which IS safe is to
defrag/compress it. There are a number of free utilities, such as NTRegOpt
which do this.

As others have mentioned there are many safe ways to optimize a Windows
system which do produce noticeable gains in performance. If you need
suggestions just ask.

Hi DirtyDawg,

This will help improve your computer's performance better than just a
registry cleaner can.

perform regular disk cleanup, defrag - i suggest not using antivirus as this
will cause more frustrations (but if you found one that best suit your needs
that's OK) - use the best firewall instead - scan your PC of spyware daily.

system restore makes your PC much worst after you run it so much as well
disable it - i suggest careful manual registry cleaning as it require
perseverance and studiosness to manually clean the registry file

The only way to 'clean' the registry is to do it manually. In most cases the
software that purports to be able to clean the registry causes more problems
than it solves. If you are not confident enough to manually remove defunct
registry entries then leave the registry well alone and keep as far away
from registry cleaners as you possible can.
